I see tons of articles and tons of sellers regarding magazine subscriptions. One fact that none of these point out is that most, if not all, clearinghouses prohibit the sale of subscriptions on auction sites and also prohibit the sale of a magazine below subscription rate. If a publisher or clearinghouse becomes aware of who the seller is they reserve the right to not honor the subscription and remove the seller as an agent. The only way that you can receive a refund is from the seller of the subscription. These sellers may be honorable in completing the sale but are deceitful in their right to conduct such sale. The only one at risk is YOU.  I hope this information is useful in protecting your money.
